I understand that they are requiring electric only vehicles so they might think they don't need to worry about combustion / reduced oxygen hazards... but.... stuff happens. NBD, you the all-star Tesla owner simply activate “bioweapon defense mode” on your Tesla and it will filter out the li-poly ash of your fallen Tesla brethren.

Having High Speed Musk probably looked at how much of a mega project the Shinkansen was and decided "I can MUSK this up" by using a vacuum tube while un-inventing trains, highways and good looking concrete. Synthbuttrange posted:yes but.... My dear that is a work of industrialisation art. For a small investment of competing brands of soft drinks and a $2 pipe fitting you can output 10 times the Kebabs in the same time as one, in a third of the space and less water for clean up.

oohhboy posted:Having High Speed absolutely not. eminent domaining every inch of a ground level route is still cheaper than tunneling the whole way. tunnels are expensive as poo poo, they are by far the most expensive alternative for train placement and are only used in situations where you have no alternative choice - like you're trying to cross an ocean, a mountain range, there is some other critical infrastructure which cannot be moved like a freeway, etc. this is being charitable and assuming musk will ever actually build high speed rail, which he will not, because his prototype is basically an unimpressive 1960's era people mover like you might see beneath disney world

Good luck eminent domaining that much land. The US is a clusterfuck of land ownership and lawsuits. If you could you would have real HSR already. The legal costs and cost overruns would kill it.

for real the most hilarious part about musk is that for such a gearhead visionary he can't be bothered to do a basic review of things that already exist, so he half asses and comes up with a minimum viable product that exactly resembles technology which plateaued decades prior https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BMnmyPKYQE oohhboy posted:Good luck eminent domaining that much land. The US is a clusterfuck of land ownership and lawsuits. If you could you would have real HSR already. The legal costs and cost overruns would kill it. this is exactly what eminent domain is for? even with all the lawsuits and cost inflation from speculation etc. the fact that this method was chosen over tunnels should tell you something i guess you could call the california high speed rail authority and tell them they're doing everything the wrong way

My proposal avoids both land ownership issues and tunneling by loading people into individual capsules then firing them at their destination with a ballistic cannon. Venture capital pls.

The DC Metro was forced to go above ground for the Silver Line expansion through some of the most expensive real estate in the US because tunneling would be too expensive.

So my dad recently retired to Maine, and within a month of living there, managed to cut his hand open shucking oysters and had to get a couple stitches. For X-Mas, I got him some cut resistant gloves and towels. Not the heavy duty chain mail stuff, but still better than nothing. It got there today, and I said not to open them unless he's planning on shucking oysters before Christmas. Naturally, he has oysters in his fridge at this very moment and is planning on having them with dinner. An hour later, I got this:  Better safe than sorry!

In a similar vein, my cousin's 16 yo son had a birthday a month ago and I lent him my knife to open a box, not knowing that KIDS THESE DAYS DON'T PLAY WITH KNIVES outside of Call of Duty and he immediately sliced his hand open. So I got him one of these for Christmas:
